    They’re cracking down harder on these protesters than the January 6th insurrectionists lol.

      Trump was in charge on J6. The failure to crack down then, is in part due to Trump intentionally not cracking down. I would compare this to the heavy handed crackdown on the DC Black Lives Matter protesters. You know, the one where he heals a Bible upside down. That was a violent crackdown on mostly peaceful protestors.

        Fair points.

        Side note just in case it saves you from a gotcha in arguing with a Maga nutjob, but Trump didn’t hold the Bible upside down that day, per NYT, Politifact, and other fact checkers. He’s still a useless piece of shit.

          I’ve watched the video many times. He ultimately gets it right, but clearly fumbles with it upside down as though it was a completely novel object.

    Supporting genocide or not supporting genocide. Gee, what a tough choice.

      In your words of a tough choice… The moral choice is not tough. The quick “just do it” take is not tough. It’s easy to just throw all in.

      The actual steps that must be made at the level of potus are tough even with the will. The time, the complexity, the repercussions, the fallout… the reality that is a little less clear than “all or nothing” is hard. The ship does not turn on a dime.

      Not disagreeing with you but just saying it’s not a simple choice, but instead a tough direction in a world where the GOP sees presidential powers only apply to republicans and democrats aren’t even citizens.

        There are many things that can be done, but biden isn’t doing any of them. There are also things he could simply not do (e.g. supplying weapons), but he goes out of his way to do them. I’d understand if biden was trying to do the right thing, but he’s really not.

          I would argue that they are being done but you’re not seeing the effects quite yet.

          I can dig it. While the compromise is unfortunately still ongoing, it’s important to not get caught up in compromise

        How hard is to just not sign a piece of paper that gives tens of billions to Israel? Seems pretty easy to me.

    If only he was a republican!

    Then OP would forget that he exist! Maybe how he falsified intelligence to lie the country into an unjustified trillion dollar war! …All so they could fuck up the region and we could pretend ignorance as to why the region is somehow magically fucked up…

    Maybe OP can keep posting articles desperately tying every problem to Biden while claiming they are trying to “wake up the dems”.

    You know… by falsely blaming democrats for everything from the weather to your bitter coffee and ignoring the GOP every step, should be fine
